Among the numerous apple varieties, decorative ones are a separate group. Such apple trees are extremely aesthetic during flowering, some have a beautiful shade of foliage throughout the growing season. Among them is the Scarlet ornamental apple tree, synonymous with Scarlett.

Description of the variety

A very beautiful tree at the time of spring flowering. Scarlet blooms profusely in May with dark pink flowers. The total mass of flowers gives the impression of a huge fragrant head, turning into purple hues.

The height of the tree reaches 4 meters. Young shoots are purple in color, brown with age. The branches of the apple tree are covered with medium-sized deep-lobed foliage. The foliage color is brownish-red in early spring, greenish-purple in summer, brown-orange or red in autumn. Crohn Scarlet has a luxurious columnar shape.

At the time of full maturity, the tree enters 7 years, the crown diameter reaches 4 meters. The purpose of the apple tree is a tapeworm, but it looks no less beautiful in small groups if they are planted in a large area.

Features, pros and cons

A pronounced feature of the variety is the bloom with dark pink flowers. Therefore, its high decorative qualities can be considered a plus. The apple tree gives fruits, but they are so small that only birds eat them. This is a serious disadvantage - not everyone can afford to grow a large tree in a small area just because of its decorative effect.

Ripening and fruiting

Scarlet bears fruit as abundantly as it blooms. By autumn, the tree is covered with small purple ranetka apples. They ripen in October-November. Remaining on the tree, they serve as a nutritional supplement in the diet of feathered city dwellers.

Growing regions

The variety is adapted for cultivation in Moscow and the Moscow region, but grows well throughout central Russia.

Yield

Scarlet's yield can be called conditionally high. The thing is that no one collects small fruits, much less weighs them - they remain on the tree. However, the fact that almost all flowers form an ovary and subsequently fruits, gives the right to speak about the high fruiting of the variety.

Fruits and their taste

Small rounded apples are purple in color and have a pronounced sweet apple flavor. Because of their small fruitiness, people do not collect them, but the birds love to feast on them, especially after the frost hits. Increased sugar content can lead to fermentation if prolonged warm weather sets in after frost.

To obtain a bountiful harvest of fragrant apples, the garden must be periodically renewed by planting seedlings of productive and new varieties. The choice of an apple seedling must be approached with all responsibility, because low-quality planting material at best will not take root, and at worst it will die in the prime of years after numerous investments in its health and normal formation.

Growing features

For planting, choose sunny places, preferably protected from strong winds, since young trees may suffer.The soil should be fertile, loose, moderately moist, with good drainage. Strong wind is not a hindrance to large apple trees, but it can knock off the color, as a result decorativeness will suffer.

For planting seedlings, standard pits of 80x80 cm are dug, the excavated soil is enriched with organic matter and complex mineral fertilizers. In the depths of the hole, they make a mound, set a plant on it, gently spread the roots along the slopes and fall asleep, spill abundantly. If several apple trees are planted, then the distance between them should be at least two meters.

Planting apple trees is a very important, troublesome and responsible business. Its survival and full-fledged fruiting depends on the correct procedure. Before planting, you need to choose the right planting material, determine the location and prepare the soil.
A successful grafting helps to solve a whole range of problems, first of all: to get the varieties of interest and save space on the site. The vaccination technique itself is not so difficult and even a novice summer resident can master it. Vaccinations can be done during the entire growing season.
Along with top dressing and pruning necessary for apple trees, watering is also a significant contribution to the correct development of the culture, and therefore to a high yield. Improper watering, carried out inopportunely, without enough water, can bring big trouble to the fruit tree.

Pollination

The aroma and sweetness of the flowers attract bees and bumblebees that pollinate the apple tree.

Top dressing

In the first two years, young plants do not need feeding if the soil was properly filled with nutrients during planting. Subsequently, traditional fertilizers are used: nitrogen fertilizers in the spring, phosphorus in the summer, and organic matter in the fall.

An important point in caring for an apple tree in the open field is feeding and fertilizing. Top dressing of apple trees begins in early spring and ends in late autumn. Lack of nutrition leads not only to a decrease in the quality and quantity of the crop, but also reduces the immunity of the tree, making it more vulnerable to pests and diseases. And with the autumn procedure, the tree will be able to lay more fruit buds, which will have a positive effect on the future harvest.

Frost resistance

The variety has good frost resistance and easily tolerates the winters characteristic of the middle lane.

Despite the fact that apple trees are considered quite unpretentious plants, they still need proper autumn care. Timely preparation of trees for winter makes them more resistant to winter frosts, as well as increase future yields.

Diseases and pests

The Scarlet apple tree is affected by pests such as aphids and bark beetles. Of the diseases, scab and cancer are dangerous for her. A complete cure for black cancer on fruit trees is possible with the help of modern means, but only in the early stages. Careful observation of the plantings is imperative, especially since the cancer spreads very quickly and is able to destroy the entire garden within two years. For parasites, preventive treatments with insecticides are used, for scab and cancer - Bordeaux liquid in early spring and antifungal drugs.

The apple tree is a popular fruit crop among gardeners. It can be found in many summer cottages. But at the same time, such trees are often affected by various diseases. It is very important to recognize the disease in time and carry out the necessary procedures for a speedy recovery. Otherwise, the fruits will be spoiled, and the tree itself may die altogether.

Fruiting of aging trees, as well as the quality of the harvest, decreases.Therefore, if the tree is aging and there is a need to replace it, you need to think about how to propagate the apple tree so as not to lose the variety. For reproduction of an apple tree, several methods are used: by seeds, layering, eyes and cloning (budding).
